WPIs are costly to use, but rate among the best proteins that money can buy. That's why they're the first ingredient you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey label. By using WPI as the primary ingredient along with premium ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate (WPC), we're able to pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support your muscle building needs after training. ON's attention to detail also extends to mixability. This superior quality powder has been instantized to mix easily using a shaker cup or just a glass and spoon. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.

Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount. **Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?** A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired. IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem. ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear. **Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...** A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results. **Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX** A: I mean, my dude, i am horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings. .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4Γ—5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left) so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks. Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by A***. on 9 April 2026* Amazing product ❀️ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by A***D on 31 May 2025* Good product and excellent taste ,great for recovery. I recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by H***A on 10 October 2025* This protein needs no introduction β€” you can notice the results from the first week. I definitely recommend buying it. However, for people who are a bit greedy like me πŸ˜…, Nitro-Tech offers 30g of protein per serving, while Whey Protein provides only 24g. So, I switched to Nitro-Tech products, and honestly, they’ve been great. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Delicious Strawberry, 5 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 120 Servings, 600 Grams (Packaging May Vary) - VELOMIX -2 Pack- 28 oz Protein Shaker Bottles for Protein Mixes - 2x Wire Whisk | Leak Proof Shaker Cups for Protein Shakes | Protein Shaker Bottle Pack | Shakers for Protein Shakes-Black&Transparent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/249507327-on-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-powder-primary-source-isolate](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/249507327-on-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-powder-primary-source-isolate) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
